"Double-D! Wake up! Are you okay?"
Double-D's eyelids flutter as Eddy gently shakes him, and when he opens his eyes, Eddy is kneeling beside him leaning over with a worried look on his face.
"...Huh? Eddy? You're.. okay? My head hurts… where are we?"
The walls around them are flat gray concrete, or metal, and a tint of red flashes through the hall repeatedly as an alarm blares.
"I don't know! But this is where Big Bird sent us and it might've set off an alarm! It was going off when I got here, the announcement over some loudspeaker said there was a 'containment breach'! Can you sit up?"
Eddy helps Double-D sit up, who groans and rubs his forehead, finding it bloody. Oh right, he got knocked out pretty rough.
"I hope I don't have a concussion, that would really suck."
A distant pounding of boots on concrete catches their attention as it grows louder, and a team of what look like armed guards led by a rumpled scientist- they assume this considering the lab coat- who points at them and stops from a distance, shouting.
"You two! State your serial numbers! Where are you supposed to be!"
Both of them look at each other and shrug, before Eddy speaks up.
"Likely not in this dimension, ol' chap. What's got everyone in such a fuss?"
"There was a containment breach, didn't you hear? Now who are you, state your serials!"
"Uh, Fruity Pebbles?"
"I like Raisin Bran."
The scientist shakes his head, confused.
"No, not cereal- wait you like. Raisin Bran?"
Double-D nods.
"Ew. Ok no. You clearly aren't D-Class, how did you get here?"
Double-D pushes his hat back and rubs his hand across his forehead, smearing blood there.
"Dimensional Portal, right?"
"Indeed."
The scientist shakes his head again, raising his hands.
"Just- okay, I have a headache from this alarm. There's a containment breach on a lower floor and you kids are clearly anomalous, just look at your anatomy."
He had gestured at Eddy, who looks confused and looks down at himself.
"I don't see it."
"Y'know I was wondering about that, you are a little square."
Double-D keeps scrubbing at his forehead as he speaks, and Eddy shrugs.
"We're all different."
"And the whole dimensional portal thing. Just- the two of you come with me. I'm putting you two in a spare humanoid containment unit for now, keep you guys safe."
The scientist approaches them and the armed guards split up, dispersing themselves into smaller groups with two joining the scientist and standing at the ready. Eddy and Double-D get to their feet and follow the scientist, followed by the two guards, until they're gestured into the room.
"We'll have to figure out what's anomalous with the other one, but we've got good reason to keep you."
"What, like my stand?"
The scientist pauses.
"..You have a stand?"
Double-D nods, sitting down on the bed, and Eddy looks concerned for a second.
"Maybe you shouldn't have said that.."
The scientist nods to himself slowly.
"...Interesting. You're not the only one here with those. Maybe there's a connection." He leaves, and shuts them inside.
"Not the only one? Perhaps another of Big Bird's victims! We should try to find them!"
Double-D stretches and yawns.
"Yeah, yeah. But we're in containment now. They're probably going to let us out to eat or something later. And my head still hurts."
Eddy nods.
"Alright. We'll wait. Try to rest."
"Eddy?"
"Hm?"
Double-D almost smiles, but mostly looks tired.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Eddy smiles back.
"I'm glad you're okay too, Double-D."
Double-D settles back and closes his eyes, and Eddy sits at the foot of the beds and leans against the wall to try for a rest of his own.
